Take a step back and instead of asking if girls prefer guys to pick them up, ask why? All girls have their own version of a knight in shining armour. He symbolises above everything else, chivalry and I'll bet my last dollar than girls will tell you, it isn't common these days. Whether it's you arriving in your chariot to sweep her off to a night of passion and adventure, you opening the door for her, or pulling her chair out, all girls appreciate acts of courtesy from a gentleman.
